Description

The oldest surviving building in the North Lane sub area of East Boldon. A charming Georgian cottage with a double front built to the back-of-pavement. It was restored in the late 20th century with a clay pantile roof, rubble stone front with dressed quoins and brick side and rear extensions. Originally it was probably lime washed. It has lost its western chimney. Has authentic timber door, sliding sash windows and neat garage gates. LOCAL LIST
